Instructions

Preheat oven to 160°C/300°F/Gas 2 and heat a large ovenproof casserole on the hob. With the meat at room temperature, dust with flour, then sear in batches in the oil until browned all over. Season with salt and pepper, remove the meat and set it aside.
Add the vegetables and spices to the casserole and sweat for 4-5 minutes, then deglaze with gin, stirring up any tasty residue. Add tonic and stock and bring to the boil. Put the meat back in, cover with a lid and place on the bottom shelf of the oven to cook for 60-90 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
Return the casserole to the hob, crushing any of the remaining juniper berries to release their flavour. Reduce until the sauce thickens slightly then further season to taste.
Serve the Osso Buco on preheated plates, sprinkled with the zest. Garnish with a slice of lemon, just as you would a G&T!
